Did you get into contact with Dr. Millar? I had the same thing on my forms, but have since completed all my shots with my local GP who has kindly given me a medical certificate stating the shots I was given, the dates i had them and certifying that I am now up to date :)

Heya, I am planning to call them tomorrow after my 2nd chicken pox shot, so that I can update Dr. Millar that I did it and if they want me to send any additinal documents to them etc...I'll update you about it tomorrow :)

Good luck on your interview tomorrow!!! let us know how it goes :)

You know I agree. I don't think they REALLY care what you wear but part of me can't help but think that if you rocked up all dirty, or in clothes with rips or something that it gives a bad first impression and for something SO important (and how stressed you are before you realise how easy the interview really is) looking good or at least well-kept makes you feel a bit more confident.

I think most people hear "interview" and immediately know they'll be dressing up anyway :)

When I was in Dayton last time, on my birthday there was a game between Miami Dolphins (my old team from the 80's) & Cincinnati Bengals (guess they're my new team)... I soooo wanted to go, until I looked up the tickets and saw the prices LOL

Yeah, seats are quite ridiculous... thankfully mum has friends over here that do silly things like getting Season Passes to games etc, so we have "optioned" seats... haha

Ohhhh, i'm so excited to see a baseball game! Travis really wants me home by september so we can go and see one of the games that he wants to see together, lol

It was really amusing, albeit expensive, but you know... it was really expected :P

I'm expecting a call back from Best Buy tomorrow for my 3rd and final interview. Man US Retail employers are a pain if you just want a crappy job :P Seriously, 3 interviews?

The Long Wait...
